STRAYS & SAFE HARBOR

Procedures for Strays found/brought to Forever Husky

Forever Husky's procedures on how we handle Strays is documented below to ensure that animals do get to a safe place.

Scan Stray for Microchip Information

If microchip found, contact the microchip company to find owner

If no microchip is found, check for tags

If tags are found, contact owner

If no tags are found, create flyer to post for local Animal Control and/or post on Facebook

Contact local Animal Control and provide details about the stray that has been found.

Is Stray a Husky

Yes

They will be brought to our vet for review and observation

If no microchip or tags were found, Forever Husky will microchip the Stray. This will ensure that the current owner can register the microchip if the dog should run stray in the future and their owners contacted

Any open wounds found during oberservation will receive care by our vet office to prevent infection

No

They will be picked up or brought to Animal Control for their review and observation

Owner found with-in 7 days

Yes

Owner will have to bring proper identification, previous vetting and photo of Animal to validate ownership. This ensures that the proper owner is found that the Stray belongs to.

The mistreatment of Huskies

If you find a Husky that is being abused or mistreated, we encourage you to report the owner to the local Animal Control and advise that a wellness check is needed. Here's the most common example we advise our callers that want to report abuse:

ie: the Husky is living outside and there is no food, water or shelter.

If Animal Control does nothing and you need assitance, you can click on the Contact Us at the top and report the incident so that we may further take steps with Animal Control and the owner to ensure that they either give up the dog to a better home or follow the rules and regulations of the Department of Agriculture and the local Animal Control ordiances.
